For heating up to about 120sqm floorspace for panel radiators

For heating up to about 150sqm floorspace for concrete slab heating

Our SX-15CCZA Hydrocarbon Hydronics Heat Pump is not an "off-the-shelf" import, it is unique and purpose-built to heat water for hydronic heating systems.
The cabinet and refrigeration system is pre-assembled to our design.
We finish them locally,install our control system, charge them with Hydrocarbons, then fine-tune and put each heat pump through quality assurance testing.

Over the years we have developed our own inhouse heatpump tuning/monitoring rig.
Every machine that leaves our factory has been fine-tuned for its application, has been
"run-in" for hours, and is shipped with its own performance guarantee.
When it is delivered and installed, it will work faultlessly from day one.


The SX-15CCZA can heat water to a maximum of 55^oC
(recommend design for 55/45^oC for new radiator installations

We use Natural Organic hydrocarbons:

Our hydronic heat pumps use hydrocarbon instead of traditional refrigerant, a highly efficient blend of R290 and R170, propane and ethane. When switching from R22, R502, R407C, and R404A power bills can be dramatically reduced, and the wear and tear on the refrigeration system can also be minimised.

It's the Natural Organic solution

ZA Hi-Tech Low Noise Owlet axial fans:

Improved airflow and up to 15% higher fan efficiency
Especially for installations where noise could be an issue, we recommend using the ZA model with super-efficient low-noise Ziehl-Abegg "Owlet" axial fans.

SX-15CCZA primary pump (remote buffertank)

Skyline Energy stainless steel buffertanks

With the SX-15CCZA we recommend using a 100Lt or 200Lt buffertank.

Installing a buffertank on a hydronic heat-pump allows for zoning without causing backpressure or flow-rate fluctuations which may trip the heat-pump.

Hydronic Buffertanks also reduce short-cycling which increases efficiency.

With a heat-pump hydronic system, heat energy is always readily available so a larger buffertank is not necessary and in fact can reduce efficiency. (one reason why we don't recommend multiple potable hot water heat-pumps for hydronics)

Simplified rules for sizing your heatpump for hydronic heating

- for MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY AND SERVICE LIFE!

• Calculate how many kW are required
• Look at the climatology of the location to establish the duration of 0^oC to +4^oC. Don’t just look at the extreme temps, look at the mean overnight temp and duration
• If the ambient air temp rarely dips below +4^oC or does so for short periods then you can use this simple calculation...
      3.3 x electricity input kW = heatpump output heat kW to size the heatpump.
• If the mean overnight ambient air temp is between 0^oC and +4^oC change the calculation to
      2.2 x electricity input kW = heatpump output heat kW to size the heatpump.
• A more powerful heatpump will raise the water temp more rapidly so it will cycle off before it needs to defrost, thereby maintaining a higher COP and efficiency.
• Warranty service may be refused if our sizing guidelines are ignored.
